' I PRINTER/S ums.

To all whom it may concern..- r 7 Be it known that I, Finmnnicx L.SonLEY, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of the borough ofBrooklyn, county of 'Kings,-city and State of New York, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in a Printers Galley, of which thefollowing is a specification.

The present invention relates to an imand has particularly l for anobject to provide a galley in which proved printers galley,

the blocks or forms of'set-up type may be placed in such manner as to besolidly and rigidly supported at all sides so that displacement of thetype and plelng of the form will be prevented. Whenplaclng a form oftype in a galley, the same is tied about by a binding cord which forms aprojection or ridge about the form, and which in the usual form ofgalley spaces the sides of the type from the walls of the galley, andbeing yieldable will permit displacement of the type, and especially thesmaller sized outside type will in some instances become twisted aboutor otherwise dis laced.

ccording to the present invention, I propose to provide a galley havingin its side walls a groove or channel for receiving the binding cord, tothe end that the sides of the type form will fit snugly against thesides of the galley and will therefore be supported againstdisplacement. A further object is to provide a galley. which may beeasily lifted, the outside rib produced by the formation of the interiorgrooves constituting a finger hold, and which will be substantiallyrigid against bending and distortion, the rib or groove stiffening theside walls.

Fig. 5 is a similar view fied form. v 1

Similar reference characters indicate correspondingp-arts throughout theseveral figures of the drawings. Referring to the drawings, and moreparti'cularly to Figs. 1 to 3 thereof, the embodiment of my inventionshown therein comprises a sheet metal base plate 10 having side walls 11and 12, and an end wall 13 bent upwardly therefrom and connected at thecorners by means of extensions 14 at the ends of the side walls, bentover exteriorly upon the end wall and secured by rivets 15.

groove or channel 16 is formed interiorly of the said side and end wallssubstantially centrally of the longitudinal edges of the same ofsuflicient depth and width to receive the binding cord 17 of the typeform 18, the sides of the type form fitting snugly against the innersides of the said walls.

The formation of the groove produces a rib 19 exteriorly of the walls,which may serve as a convenient finger hold in lifting the galley, itbeing understood that the type form is quite heavy.

Adjacent the base plate, the end and side walls are provided with arecessed portion '20 to permit of drainage of a cleansing fluid whenapplied to the type, and also to receive dust or other matter settlingupon the base plate and which would otherwise be forced into the cornersand prevent snug fitting of the type form.

In Fig. 4, I have illustrated a slightly modified form of constructionin which the side and end Walls 21 are formed of separate strips ofmaterial from the base plate 22, and are provided with lateral flanges23 and 24, a longitudinal groove 25 therebetween and a recessed portion26 adjacent the base plate, the flange 23 being secured to the baseplate by rivets 27, the upper flange 2 1 forming a rest to permit of thepiling up of a number of galleys, one upon the other.

In the form illustrated in Fig. 5, the side walls are formed of solidstrips 28 preferably of cast metal, secured to the base plate byelongated rivets 29 extending therethrough and having a binding cordreceiv ing longitudinal groove 30 formed along its tion, but it isobvious that changes sides and an end, the

position inner side, outer side, there is provided The galleyaccording'to my invention, is

of simple and inexpensive construction, will not easily bend or becomed1st0rted,and supports the type form in a manner as to prevent the samebecoming disarranged, the sides of the type fitting snugly against theinner sides of the galley.

I have illustrated and described preferred and satisfactory embodimentsofmy invenmay be made therein within the spirit and scope thereof asdefined in the appended claims.

I claim:

1. A printers galley comprising a bottom, sides and end being formedwith an outwardly-set'portion at an elevation above the bottom-whereby agroove is produced on the interior of the galley in to receive thebinding cord of a form of type and a rib; is provided on the exterior ofthe galley.

2.'A printers galley comprising a base plate, end and side wallsextending therefrom, said Walls at the base plate providing an internalgroove, said walls provided with a second groove at an elevation abovethe base plate necessary to receive the binding cord of a form of type,and means on the exterior of said walls spaced above the base plate forreceiving the fingers in lifting and handling the galley.

3'. printers galley comprising aibase plate, side walls providedinteriorly with a longitudinal groove adaptedto receive the binding cordof a form of-type placed in said galley, and a longitudinal rib of saidside walls.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I have signedmy name hereunder.
